LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,952, dated January 3, 1882.

Application filed October 29, 1881.

5 Lamps, of which the following is a full, clear,

, Y and exact descriptlon.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification. The drawing is a sectional side elevation of my improvement.

1 and has for its object to simplify andcheapen the construction of the said ornamented body. The invention consists of the body made of cement molded into shape and covered with a shell of ornamented sheet metal or pa per, with the oil-chamber, base, and tie-rod of the lamp,

as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the oil-chamber of a lamp, which may be made of glass or metal, and to the bottom of which is secured the upper end of a rod, B. The rod B passes down through the based and has a screw-thread out upon its lower end to receive the nut D, sothat the various parts of the lampcau be fastened together by screwing the nut D upon the rod B.

0 The bottom ofthe base 0 is recessed to receive the nut D, so that the said nut will not come in contact with the surface upon which (No model.)

the said base 0 stands. The oil-chamber A is provided with the flange a, which rests upon the upper edge of the body E F, and by which it is supported within the said body. The inner part, E, of the body is formed of plasterof paris or other suitable cement, molded into cylindrical form or other desired shape, and inclosed in a shell, F, of sheetmetal or paper.

The shell F is painted or otherwise ornamented to imitate the porcelain body which has heretofore been. used in making this kind of lamps, and which is very expensive.

, Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a lamp, the body E F, the inner part, E, of which is formed of cement molded into cylindrical form and inclosed in an ornamental shell of sheet metal or paper, F, in combination with the oil-chamber A, supported within the said body by its upper flange, and se cured therein by the bolt B and nut D, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a lamp, the combination, with the oilchamber A, the base 0, and the tie-rod B, of the body formed of a cement inner part, E, molded into shape, and a covering-shell, F, of ornamented sheet metal or paper, substantially as herein shown and described.
